Deck General USCG Question #543 (Set 16)

How should you signal the crane operator to use the main hoist?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — First tap the top of your head with your fist, and then proceed to use regular signals.

Standard crane signaling requires tapping the top of the head with a fist to command the operator to use the main hoist, followed immediately by standard directional hand motions to execute the desired load movement safely.
